Spent a little time this morning on the Range shooting my old Linebaugh Ruger .45 Colt. I was trying out some loads with Green Dot in it. Using the SSK 270-451 cast bullet and 6.5 gr. of Green Dot.

They were fairly slow and hit about 4" above Point of Aim. I think I will go up a grain in the powder charge and try them.

The 8.5 gr. of Unique with the Lyman 454190 bullet hits close to point of aim.
